Yes, no, and in the air tonight

Musical Monday: In The Air Tonight
Please scroll down for Monday Mayhem

It was either Don Johnson or someone whose name I didn't pay as much attention to. Globe-trotting, short-term boyfriend mentioned that he briefly worked with one Miami Vice actor. Then off he went out to finish a meeting while I stayed behind to finish viewing bundles of photos. In one snapshot the guy he pointed out as the actor preceded him on the stairs of a plane. My mind ambled along opening scenes of The Real McCoy; the roar of Ferrari as Burnett and Tubbs sped on a dark highway interspersed with Phil Collins' bark-like "oh lord, oh lord, oh lord..." God I must have existed in the 80s already :D

Monday Mayhem: Yes or No
Please scroll up for Musical Monday

Today's meme is based on the popular YES or No.

We will focus on the internet. Answer yes or no for each question. Because I am so very nice, I will allow you to tell one story about one of your answers.

HAVE YOU?

1. Googled yourself?
I thought it was silly, but I got to sort something someone said. Read: skin the little bug alive



2. Googled your neighbor?
Sometimes we're on the lift together; and as the mercury on the neighborliness thermometer plunges, so does the interest to bother about remembering that I don't even know their first names




3. Used Google maps to spy on someone?

You should be asking if I used google maps to locate Mt. Ararat






4. Spied on someone via Facebook?








5. Friended someone on Facebook that you don't know?
It's the other way around







6. Tweeted gossip?
not my style duh







7. Followed a celeb on Twitter?
I'd rather follow my own dreams







8. Kissed any one of your Facebook friends?
and loved it!




9. Regretted an online relationship?
knowing when to stop has its advantages







10. Dumped someone online?





11. Played a prank on someone online?








12. Spied on a High School bully online?
The bully in my high school must have had brains enough to victimize only those he could






13. Written a nasty email?
At my age, if I have to attack someone, I'll do it face to face







14. Sent something X-rated via email?
received - yes







15. Searched your state's/locality's database for predators?








16. Done an online search on someone's traffic offenses?
If it's not my concern, I don't bother







17. Ordered dinner online?








18. Purchased something over $250 online?








19. Left an anonymous comment?








20. Checked out someone else's email (as in spy on your s.o.)?
it's not me

Peggy, I don't know. Last time I saw him perform was at the Queen's Jubilee at the Buckingham in what year was that... I've forgotten which year was it. I will always like his hits though

The Hunchback of Abella

A Duet When I was about 8 years old, I sang Something's Happened to Daddy in church. My father was not a church-goer so the guy I sang with was my mother's friend's husband. Papa keeps coming to my mind these days. January is the month he was felled by a massive coronary. Next week on the 14th is the anniversary of his death. The only times he ever set foot in church were during weddings and funerals of family and friends. I remember him being present in church eagerly when I was a flower girl at an aunt's wedding. Finally he entered church one more time. At his own funeral. I made sure church was the very place he went to before the cemetery. I only wished he was the one I sang with.

Sense and Sensibility: 200th anniversary

In 1811 Thomas Egerton of Whitehall, London published Sense and Sensibility . Quick math shows it has been two centuries since Jane Austen became a full-fledged author. Quite an anniversary, indeed. A celebration, I declare . Blogs regarding the publication anniversary of this romance novel picture Jane Austen 's engagements whilst making the final touches of her manuscript from Sloane Street. In letters to her sister Cassandra, Jane gave accounts of her shopping for muslin, the party that their brother Henry and SIL Eliza gave; mentioned several acquaintances, and referred to her book as S and S . As a fan I wonder which between sense and sensibility did JA deem more important since she portrayed both attributes equally well. I'm obliged to enthuse over my S & S reading experience. Alas, I only managed fourteen chapters before getting sidetracked by another novel, the very first that JA wrote. I will resume and complete my affair with the celebrant before 2011 end
